The Symbiosis of the Tectonic Slug and the Glacial Algae
One of the most detailed entries concerns the pairing of the Terraformis lentus (Tectonic Slug) and Cryophytum aetherium (Glacial Algae).
The Tectonic Slug, hypothesized to inhabit deep subterranean fault lines, is described as possessing a near-zero metabolic rate, deriving almost all necessary energy not from chemosynthesis, but from the slow, continuous dissipation of [tecton… -

The Tectonic Slug, hypothesized to inhabit deep subterranean fault lines, is described as possessing a near-zero metabolic rate, deriving almost all necessary energy not from chemosynthesis, but from the slow, continuous dissipation of tectonic strain energy. Conversely, C. aetherium requires ambient light levels equivalent to an ice-shelf environment, yet cannot survive water with a solute concentration greater t…
